I'm trying to setup a server with public mailboxes only
but I cannot succeed.
Do you still have specific users? Do you want the users to have
subscriptions? Do you need ACLs?
yes I need specific users using ACL
and yes I would like users have subsciptions
OK, so then you need to have a per-user mail_location for the 
subscriptions. Something like:

namespace {
  list = children
  location = maildir:/var/mail/public
  prefix = public/
  separator = /
  subscriptions = no
  type = public
}
namespace inbox {
  location = maildir:/var/lib/dovecot/empty:CONTROL=/var/mail/user/%u
  prefix = /
  inbox = yes
}

With the "empty" directory being non-writable, the users can't create 
any private mailboxes, but with the writable control directory they 
can store subscriptions there.

I've configured as the followin , but I am unable to list
folders inside Thunderbird with the "Subscribe" menu
